I do a good bit of clones getting expanded into multiple locations,
and it works well for me. Important things to remember:
* If you're using @thin, it means the .leo file is thin, and the
derived file is fat.
* If you've got nodes cloned into multiple @thin or @file locations,
and their contents gets changed outside of Leo, then the last version
encountered during the reading of the derived files wins.
* If the sentinels are damaged outside of Leo, Leo can sometimes get
confused -- more often with @file than with @thin.
* Unless your versioning system is extremely short of disk space, tell
your versioning system that the .leo file is a binary. Trying to do
reconciliations between XML files is close to impossible except in the
very most trivial cases. I've only done it successfully twice; you're
almost always better off abandoning your changes, checking out from a
known coherent version, and redoing the work from there.
Good luck,
